Descriptions

Progress Database 9.1 to 9.1D06 trusts user input to find and load libraries using dlopen, which allows local users to gain privileges via (1) a PATH environment variable that points to malicious libraries, as demonstrated using libjutil.so in_proapsv, or (2) the -installdir command line parameter, as demonstrated using librocket_r.so in _dbagent.

Progress Database 9.1 a 9.1D06 se confia en la entrada del usuario para cargar librerias usando dlopen, lo que permite a usarios locales ganar privilegios mediante
una variable de entorno PATH que apunta a las librerías maliciosas, como ha sido demostrado usando libjutil.so en _proapsv, o el parámetro de línea de comandos -installdir, como ha sido demostrado usando librocket_r.so en _dbagent.
